1. Jimi Hendrix
2. BB King
3. Eric Clapton
4. Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones
5. Jimmy Paige of Led Zepplin
6. Kirk Hammett of Metallica
7. Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers Band
8. Chuck Berry
9. Stevie Ray Vaughn
10. Steve Vai
11. Yngwie Malmsteen
12. Herman Li of Dragonforce
13. Eddie Van Halen of Van Halen
14. Kurt Cobain of Nirvana
15. John Frusciante of The Red Hot Chili Peppers
16. Tom Morrello of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave
17. George Harrison of The Beatles
18. Les Paul
19. Brian May of Queen
20. Joe Perry of Aerosmith
21. Pete Townshend of The Who
22. Jonathan Cain of Journey
23. Angus Young of AC/DC
24. David Gilmore of Pink Floyd
25. Orianthi - This one is a surprise, but amazing guitarists are not limited to guys
So there you have it. I probably missed a couple, or mixed them up, but I've gone over it a couple times, so if I have missed someone plz lemme know.
Duane Allman needs to be much higher on that list...
ReplyDeleteGood list.
ReplyDeleteOn the last one, btw, you might find St. Vincent interesting. The frontwoman is a pretty good guitarist.
